between the deermen in the valley and

the coast, by both of whom he was wei

Wild geese hunters arc having fine
sport on Dakota prairics. A sportsman
writes from Newark, Dakota, that he
frequently sees focks of gees extending
over acres, giving the ground IN APP
pearance Of being covered by an immense
snow bank. A good way to approach
them is by horse and wagon; as the
birds cannot see man in q wagon they
will not rise until the horse is very
near. BY urging the horse into hard
run, the hunter is carried directly under
the birds by the time they are fairly up
In the air. He then bangs away with
telling results.

Notwithstanding the wonderful adj
vances In material civilization during
the last hundred years. there is yet, &C.
cording to the American Cultivator, a
general expectation that fully as great
changes are in store for the world as any
yet witnessed. We have apparently
measured the possibilities of steam as a
motive power, but no one dares to thin
that the capabilities of electricity have
been fathomed. When the electric tele-
graph was invented, many thought that
the end was reached by one bound. 1t
is easy to see now that stranger things
lie behind the subtle agent than the
transmission, almost instantaueously of
dumb signs. We have for years talked
for long distances by its aid. Cities are
lighted by it, and it has already been
harnessed and used as a motive power
in competition with steam. 1t is not
unlikely that the next discoveries in
electricity will be in connection with
agriculture. There is surely more in
telligence applied to this business than
ever before in the worlds history This
cannot fail in time to produce results
equally strange rs those which invention
and discovery have made in other fields
of labor

THE CAPTAINS WIFE.

Inc right wing OF Shermans army
was only few miles from Blue Rock. a
mountain village in Georgia.
The simple villagers felt little alarm.
Blue Rock was the point of no strategic
Importance to either the Federals or the
Confederates.
One fine morning in the early spring
John Dickson started out from the little
hamlet to visit his farm, only mile or
two distant. Dickson was young man,
but chronic lameness had secured his
exemption from military service, and as
he had wife and two children entirely
dependent upon him, he regarded his
disability as q blessing.
Still, he was strong Confederate, and
on this particular morning, while he was
limping slowly along the rough country
road, he paused more than once to listen
with frowning face to the sullen boom
oil Sherman's guns, several miles away.

he muttered, 'but if they come to Blue
Rock and cut up any I'll kill some of

He meant what he said This quiet
young farmer had plenty of grit when
he was put to the test.
The walk tired him, and he left the
road and stretched himself in a grassy
place under the shade of sturdy old
oak.
He threw himself on his back and
closed his eyes for a moment. Then he
looked up into the green foliage above
him.
A queer expression flittel over his
face, but his gaze remained fixed upon
one point.
In careless way he raised his
hand to his face, and stroked his
moustache. Then the hand wandered
down over his vest toying with each
Tuition. At last it slipped downward to
hip pocket, and rcappeared "a quick

A Deer Conauers n Beor.

That peacefully disposed young bear
which Thomas Strong presented TO the
city is kept chained in the deer paddock
at the city park. The other day it
broke its chain and started in to have n

till the young buck turned on it and
combcd its fur with his horns and
kicked it on the snout and made the
blood run, and finally lhe bear initiated

buck stood guard at the bottom with
